What would happen if Russia destroyed North America?
If Russia destroyed the North American continent, surviving submarines would launch everything they have at the Russian homeland, producing mutual annihilation. This would leave Scripture prophecy open and in perfect accord with what will transpire. Believers would already be gone, while unbelievers left behind would face the seven-year period.
Les explains that Ezekiel 39 says God will destroy invading Russian armies on the hills of Israel, just as He destroyed the Syrians in Elijah's time. Then a fire falls on their homeland and annihilates the Russian homeland. Using common sense, Les says if Russia unloads and destroys the North American continent, remaining submarines will retaliate and unload everything on the Russian homeland, resulting in mutual annihilation. This leaves Scripture prophecy open and in perfect accord. Les reassures believers they won't be here; they'll be gone. But unbelievers possibly left into the seven-year period would be scared to death. Les thinks nuclear winter is coming, not as a prophet of doom, but because he sees what the prophetic Word says must happen. He notes the next horse in Revelation 6 is the pale horse depicting famine and pestilence.
